- 3. Consolidated mixtures of minerals forming the Earth's crust.
- 8. The scientific study of the Earth, including its composition, structure, and processes.
- 10. The outermost layer of the Earth's structure.
- 11. A break in a material where there is no significant movement.
- 12. Molten rock, including dissolved gases and crystals, found beneath the Earth's surface.
- 15. (S) Wave: A type of seismic wave recorded by seismographs, typically slower than primary waves.
- 16. Crust: The thick, solid part of the Earth's crust that forms the continents and is not located under the oceans.
- 18. A fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred.
- 19. Tectonics: The theory explaining the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates, leading to geological phenomena like earthquakes, mountains, and volcanoes.
- 20. A device used to record seismic waves and detect earthquakes.
Down
- 1. The record produced by a seismograph, showing the ground motion during an earthquake.
- 2. BOUNDARY: A boundary where two tectonic plates move towards each other.
- 4. Boundary: A boundary where tectonic plates move away from each other.
- 5. VOLCANIC ARC: A chain of volcanoes located along the boundary of a continent.
- 6. (P) Wave: The first type of seismic wave recorded by seismographs.
- 7. Crust: The thinner part of the Earth's crust found beneath the oceans.
- 9. The shaking or vibration of the Earth's surface caused by the rapid release of energy.
- 13. Rigid sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move as distinct units.
- 14. Spot: A region in the Earth's mantle with elevated heat that can create magma and lead to volcanic activity.
- 17. Ridge: A long undersea mountain range formed by the upwelling of magma at divergent boundaries in the ocean.
